043 times a thousand years sigh III, it is better to send this life (I)
"What questions? [Reading Network]"
"You are a cultivator, that Feng gentleman is also a cultivator, what is the relationship between the two of you who are often together? Are you the same senior brother? If so, your junior brother is much better than you. ”
She really asked me this question, how dare I let Feng Junzi be my junior brother, and if I want to call him, Master, he still doesn't agree! But he should be my Dan Dao Master, and I will teach almost all of these things, but he won't let me say it, nor will I be able to name the "Four Doors and Twelve Floors" or "Three Dreams in the World". The people around me only Shang Yunfei knew that he had taught me, but after I got started, Feng Junzi taught me specifically, and even Yunfei didn't know.
"He is my classmate, I have a good relationship with him, and he is also a cultivator, not my senior brother. In fact, there is another practitioner in our class, who is a disciple of the Living Buddha of Guangjiao Temple, named Shang Yunfei. I had to answer her with such half-truths.
Sister Ziying: "I have heard that the little lama who has not been ordained is not well-known in the Wucheng cultivation world." These masters are usually difficult for any of you, and a small middle school class actually has two plus you have become three! This is simply amazing, I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”
Hearing Sister Ziying say this, I also think it's a little incredible. It's true that no one believes it, but there is no need to tell anyone about this kind of thing. This is probably the principle that people gather by like, and things are grouped, there are really a lot of masters I saw in Qiyunguan today, and at this time, I suddenly remembered Mr. Zhang, and tried to ask Sister Ziying: "Sister Ziying, do you know what Mr. Zhang's origin is? It is the same Mr. Zhang who asked Zhang Zhi to send me something last time." ”
I know that Sister Ziying knows Mr. Zhang, and the last time I was "knocked unconscious" by Zezhong's Zhenling Treasure Seal, Mr. Zhang had a strange conversation with her. After today's events, what makes me curious is not only Mr. Zhang, but also Sister Ziying herself. This time there was a big fuss, Qi Yunguan, it can be said that someone mobilized all the "masters" around me to help, and the Feng Junzi just didn't let Sister Ziying make a move, which is the problem.
Sister Ziying did not hesitate as I imagined, but moved, changed her body, changed her comfortable position, or leaned on my arms, and asked calmly: "Shi Ye, do you know the three major families in Wucheng?"
I shook my head: "I've only heard of the two major families in China: North Kongnan, Zhangwucheng, and the three major families, I don't know if there is a family surnamed Liu?"
"Yes, there is one family surnamed Liu, another family surnamed Mei, and another family surnamed Zhang. And this surname Zhang is the branch of the North Kong and South Zhang that you said......"
I have long known that one of the three major families in Wucheng is the ancestor of Mr. Liu and Liu Yiyi, and the famous Wucheng Liu family in history is a generation of gentlemen, and the family fell when New China was founded. The Mei clan is very famous in history, and it has produced great literati, great poets, famous mathematicians, astronomers, and so on for thousands of years. This family is so mysterious that there is no news about it in modern times. The Champion Bridge to the south of our school is said to have been built by one of the champions of the Mei family.
The origin of the Zhang family in Wucheng is even more special, in the eyes of secular people, it is a merchant family in Wucheng. Unlike the thousand-year-old tradition of the other two families, the Zhang family moved to Wucheng 500 years ago, and is said to be a side branch of Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi. That Zhang Tianshi has been passed down from generation to generation, but the position can only be passed on to one son, and it is normal to have a side branch and set up another portal, and the Wucheng Zhang family is a branch that was separated five hundred years ago.
The Zhang family has been doing business for generations, and the business is very large, and they are famous and wealthy in Wucheng. However, in the eyes of practitioners, the Zhang family's mathematics and charms have also been passed down from generation to generation, and they are famous masters in the cultivation world. Before the liberation, Zhang Rongdao's (that is, the chairman of Rongdao Group) father suddenly scattered his family wealth, gave up the family business that had been inherited for 500 years, and welcomed the new society as an urban commoner, thus avoiding a catastrophe and being able to live a long life, which was much better than the Liu family. It seems that the insight of the Shumen family is indeed extraordinary.
After the reform and opening up, Zhang Rongdao, the son of the Zhang family, went back to the sea to do business and founded Rongdao Group. After more than ten years of exhibition, his business scope includes commerce, hotel, transportation, real estate and other industries, and Mr. Zhang Rongdao has also become a new generation of Wucheng Fu. This is where Mr. Zhang comes from.
After listening to Sister Ziying's story, I asked curiously: "That Mr. Zhang is Wucheng Fu, why do you still have to make a living as a fortune teller at the Phoenix Bridge?" Last time, I helped him collect 3,000 yuan of hexagram money, and he also divided my 1,000 yuan...... Is it necessary?"
After listening to my question, Sister Ziying held her chin with her hand on my chest, looked up at me with a blink of beautiful eyes: "Ono, you are getting more and more interesting...... I mean, the master who taught you the Dharma is really interesting! Don't you really know...... Didn't your master tell you? It is said that you practitioners should have made your words clear when you enter the ordination. ”
Sister Ziying said "you cultivators" instead of "us cultivators", but she didn't count herself among the cultivators. I heard that, but I was more curious about her question. I also had a history of initiation ordination, and the gentleman told me about the three major precepts of cultivation, and finally added a fourth precept that forbade him to be offered. I asked Sister Ziying, "I know the three major precepts that the world cultivates and observes, and I don't mention Mr. Zhang's situation in it?"
Sister Ziying: "You are really not ordinary and simple. What is the third precept that practitioners keep together? It is not to use the Tao to make profits and satisfy selfish desires in the world. It is not because they are proficient in mathematics and can anticipate opportunities for others to do business, and it is enough to be one step ahead of others. This is already using the Dao Fa to make profits, so he can't use it for personal purposes, otherwise not only will the cultivation world not agree, but he will also be punished by heaven! Cultivators, who are not afraid of heavenly calamities?...... Do you know how much money Rongdao Group donated in the past few years?"
It turned out that this was the case, Mr. Zhang couldn't use the money he earned for personal use, which was really difficult for him. Thinking of this, I asked again: "Isn't Mr. Zhang's fortune-telling also using Taoism when he sets up a stall to tell fortunes?
Sister Ziying laughed again, this time laughing at the flowers and branches: "Oh, you are so cute, when did you see a fortune teller really use a spell to tell someone's fortune? ...... Besides, fortune-telling and drawing talismans are the livelihood techniques of the rivers and lakes that have been passed down from generation to generation by Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, and Mr. Zhang makes a living in this capacity, but also to remember his origin. He is the hardest descendant of the Zhang family in Wucheng. ”
"What about his fathers and ancestors?"
Sister Ziying: "The problem is that this business has become a large-scale business, and the business is on the right track, as long as the future generations manage it well, they don't need to use any magic methods." For 500 years, the Zhang family has been a child of a wealthy family, and they have been unable to eat brocade clothes and jade since birth, so they go to the rivers and lakes to make a living. But in the hands of Zhang Rongdao's father, the family's industry was cut off, everything needed to start again, and he could help Zhang Rongdao become a businessman, but he couldn't use the money. After the inheritance of the industry, his descendants do not have this taboo, so Zhang Rongdao can be said to be the person who revitalizes the inheritance of the Zhang family, comparable to his ancestors five hundred years ago, the only regret - he has no son!"
Hearing this, I understood that Mr. Zhang of Rongdao Group's money could not be spent, but his daughter Zhang Zhi could. It's a weird and interesting rule. I asked Sister Ziying again: "Mr. Zhang's money can be spent by his daughter, what if there is a loser and the industry is ruined?"
Sister Ziying: "You still don't understand the rules of cultivation, like this kind of family property, descendants can make rentiers, but they can't sell their assets for their own use, otherwise they will also be punished by God." Let's put it this way, if the parents leave a house, the children and grandchildren can rent out the house and eat the rent, which is okay, this is the benefit of the business, but you can't sell the house and spend the money yourself. Do you understand?"
Sister Ziying's analogy, I can be sure of it. Cultivators in the world are indeed not simple, Mr. Zhang's story can be written into a long novel, I think the story of Feng Junzi or Shang Yunfei If they are all told, I am afraid it will also be long. When I think of them, I think of myself, I am a beginner, maybe my story will be as colorful as these people in the future, right?
